IMPROVEMENT IN PAPER-PULP DISTRIBUTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 188,371, dated March 13, 1877; application filed I February 3, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC JENNINGS, of Fairfield, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper-Pulp Distributer, of which the following is a specification:

The figure is a vertical section of my improved machine.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved machine for depositing paper-pulp upon vessels and other forms to coat them, and which shall be simple in construction, convenient in use, and effective in operation.

The invention consists in the combination of the two frames, the endless carrier,-and the drum, provided with the spring-fingers, with each other, for depositing particles of paperpulp upon articles to be coated; and in the combination of the fan-blower with the drum, provided with the spring-fingers, with the endless carrier, and the two frames, as hereinafter fully described.

A is an upright frame, to the lower part ofwhich is attached or pivoted a trough or frame, B. To the end parts of the frame B are pivoted two rollers, 0, around which passes an endless belt or carrier, D, made of wire-cloth or other suitable material. To the forward part of the frame B is pivoted a third roller, E, beneath which the carrier D passes to hold the said carrier down, so that the distributingfingers can only come in contact with its forward part. The rear part of the frame B is designed to be lowered intothe pulp-vat. To the upright frame A, above the forward end of the carrier-frame B, is pivoted a drum, F, to which are attached rows of spring-fingers G, of such a length that their ends will come in contact with the forward end of the carrier 4 D, to take particles of pulp from said carrier, which particles of pulp are projected by centrifugal force, and by the spring of the fingers G, upon the object to be coated, which 'object is placed in front of the machine, upon some suitable stand or holder, and should be slowly revolved.

The particles of pulp are directed more accurately against the article to be coated by the blast from a fan-blower, H, which is attached to a frame A, above the drum F.

Motion is given'to the drum F by hand or from any convenient power. Motion is given to the fan-blower H and to the carrier'O E D from the drum F by bands and pulleys.

In this way bottles, pitchers, and other vessels may be quickly and evenly coated with pulp, or coatings of pulp may be deposited upon forms, from which they may be Withdrawn, when dry, by slitting them. In this way globes and other articles may be expeditiously and cheaply formed. The paperpulp coatings, when dry, may be polished,

varnished, and otherwise finished, in the same way in which paper-pulp vessels are now finished, and about which there is nothing new.

I do not claim as new a bottle or other vessel coated with paper-pulp; but,

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as'new and desire to secure by Letters Patent l. The combination of the frames A B and the endless carrier 0 E D with the drum F, provided with the spring-fingers G, for throwing particles of paper-pulp upon objects to be coated, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination of the fan-blower H and the drum F, provided with the spring-fingers Gr, with the endless carrier 0 ED and the frames A B, substantially'as herein shown and described.

ISAAC JENNINGS.
